Origin Sant Sebastià dels Gorgs, Penedès, Catalunya
Varieties 50% Macabeu, 50% Garnatxa Negra
Vineyard From 18 certified organic and regeneratively farmed parcels around their estate. The Macabeu is from 14 parcels in both the Costers de l’Ordal and Massís del Garraf on gravelly calcareous soils (all 30 years old or more) , and the younger vine Garnatxa is from 4 parcels in the lower elevation Conca de l’Arnoia on clay/calcareous soils with pebbles.
Vinification Method
The grapes are hand-harvested and the Macabeu is direct-pressed whole cluster while the Garnatxa macerates for a few hours before pressing into stainless steel tanks for primary fermentation. Malolactic fermentation is blocked, and thewine goes through secondary fermentation in bottle with the addition of concentrated must, aged on fine lees for at least 20 months with regular hand-riddling on pupitres, then is disgorged without freezing and zero dosage for a brut nature wine.
